Administrative Guidance for our Shareholders

Change of address

Notification of share dividends and notice of ordinary general meetings of shareholders are sent to the postal address that you have registered with us. To ensure that we can deliver these documents to you safely, we ask you to complete the "Change of Address" procedures swiftly in the event of any address change.

You will also need to complete the "Change of Address" procedures if the forming of a new city, merger of towns and villages, or any change in your residence indication results in a change in the name of your town of residence or residential plot number, etc.

For more details on these procedures, if your shareholding is recorded in a brokerage account, etc., please apply to the relevant securities company. If your shares are recorded in a special account, please refer to the "Shareholder Administration"(Japanese only) section on Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation's website.

Dividend payments via electronic transfer

Once we have received the designated form requesting electronic transfer of dividend payments, we can transfer dividend payments directly into the specified account at a bank or other financial institution.

For more details on these procedures, if your shareholding is recorded in a brokerage account, etc., please apply to the relevant securities company. If your shares are recorded in a special account, please refer to the "Shareholder Administration"(Japanese only) section on Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation's website.
